The “independence movement” is pretty lightweight and lib-flavored as it currently exists. People here know about it though, or at least have seen the “Doug flag” (avatar for this account) at soccer game or bar around town.
It is pre-marketed, and it is less difficult to backdoor a progressive liberal into a conversation about “socialism with Cascadian characteristics” than it is to beg and plead them to join the “spooky communist” PSL (these MFs are off-put by the DSA like half the time).
The more serious stuff can come later, but it is absolutely necessary to demolish the idea that anything good will happen at the federal and recognize that liberalism is a dead ideology when it comes to resusting the fascist elements of the Republican party. This has been clearly demonstrated for 12 years. Liberals: how long until you fucking do something that isn’t in the MSNBC news cycle?
Core is Van, Seattle, and Portland down to Eugene. Further south or east is debatable, and starts to overlap with “greater Idaho”, “state of Jefferson”, or “calexit” California.
What is cascadia?
Cascada is a large biome in the northwest US and southern British Columbia in Canada, with an associated independence movement

I believe it’s the region covering the PNW to California, and there is a movement to make it its own nation state
Not all of California. Like maybe down to Shasta, definitely not San Francisco or anything south of it. They like to call it a bioregion.

Ah thanks for clarifying
